After this loss to the Suns, I had this idea. You know how when a team needs a3point play at the end of the game ,they'll go to the free throw line, make one and miss second one on purpose. My idea is to make it into a strategy throughout the game, when we go to shoot free throws, after the first shot(hopefully a make) we bounce the second one off of the backboard on purpose, as strong as we can, since the opposition will have more defenders under the glass we should have more ppl in the backcourt ready to catch this the ball. We can create some plays right off of that rebound, we should have good position right underneath the hoop with our bigs in scoring position. What kind of rules are there to stop this from being a viable strategy? With our quality bigs I think that the worst thing is losing the ball and not scoring one measly extra point, the best case scenario is a 4 point play( 1 from original free throw, 2 points from one of our bigs scoring,and 1 more from our bigs getting fouled) What do you think?
How old are you? The ball has to hit the rim.
They cannot hit them in first place so no need any effort to miss...
The reason they have a "Top of the key circle" is Wilt Chamberlin used to run and jump before the foul line an dunk. Not sure if he did this all the time as it would get you tired, but thats why they have a Free Throw Circle.
If all you had hit was the back board, the second Foul shot he could have just lobbed, off, then dunk for a potential 4 pt play (back end of an end one.
Gotta hit the rim bro.
The only way this could be a viable strategy is if a player were to become very good at hitting the front of the rim.
So if I could throw the ball at the front of the rim with a lot of power and such accuracy that it would come straight into my hands, I would do good things.
I see, was not aware of the rim rule.
I had this idea for a killer move where you go up like you're going for a right-handed lay-up but you shoot with the left hand.
So you would take off from the left leg but at the last second kind of swivel and scoop it in with the left hand.

So bounce it off the rim instead of the backboard.
it actually might work, on NBA2K...

It would not bounce far enough and high enough to give advantage to those outside the paint. Also would be more difficult to control the direction of it after the bounce. If done properly it would require some rule changes probably.

Stop being so negative. Our guys can do this ya just gotta believe.
I actually tried slamming the ball off the backboard when I was jr high schooler. Ref said, nice idea, but still a turnover.
